Superintendent of Public In struction Ackerman says he would prefer but one State Normal School and that the state pay students’ transportation to and from this school, to the four Normal Schools which the state maintains. He is right; one first-class school, one of as high grade as any in the country, would he preferable to four inferior schools, and it would bo cheaper to pay the students’ fares, as the Superintendent suggests, tlun to maintain .¿C^/.hree extra schools. But there is n6‘ prospect that such a change will be 'made. It has been easy for the state to acquire Normal Schools under the logroll ing process of legislation, hut to get rid o f any ot them will be diffi cult, if not impossible. Whether the proposed consolid ation of country schools, or of such country schools as arc within a few miles of a town school with the lat ter, is a good policy, and how far it can be successfully carried out, are questions upon which those in terested will not agree. But it would seem safe to rely to a great extent on the judgement of Super intendeut Ackerman and other ex perienced teachers.—Telegram. --------------- M t >, --------------- To Study Alaska Salmon. Washington, March 24.— By de cision of the President, a commis sion of fishery experts, including President Jordan, of Leland Stan ford University; Dr. Evermann, of the Fish Commission, and several other scientists, will spend the Sum mer studying Alaska salmon, with a view to devising a practical means of perpetuating the salmon supply, and o f promulgating adequate reg ulations governing fishing and the establishment of hatcheries. Espec ial attention will be paid to the question of propagatian, as many of the hatcheries heretofore established havo been successful, and efforts will also bo made to find out why private attempts at propagation have failed. The operations of the present fishery laws will be gone in to will, a view to ircumieenCIing modifications. ---------------» • >»» • --- -------- The Irish Land-Reform Bill. The bill to settle the centuries-old conflict between Irish landlords and tenants, that passed its first reading in the House of Commons yesterday, is one of the most important and notable pieces of progressive legis lation ever devised. It is the result of long, diligent, earnest, enlight ened, conscientious study o f the situation by British statesmen, and while not perfect, is in its main de tails as nearly so as possible. Un der its provisions Irish tenant, in stead of paying rent, will make an nual payments on the lands they occupy, so that the next generation of Irish tillers of the soil will he their own landlords—will own their homes. To make up the difference between the aggregate {price asked by non-resident landlords and that offered or considered right by Irish tenant, the British government will supply a cash fund of $(>0,000,000. This big expenditure js justified by the British Secretary for Ireland in the statement that under present conditions “ the landlords of Ireland were being ruined financially, the tenants were being ruined morally, and the taxpayers of England were paying $700,000 per annum to the land commission and $7,000,000 to the Irish police, which largely waB needed to deni with the illegalities arising from the land question.” Redmond, the Irish leader, while not positively committing himself yet, made no opposition to the bill; neither did Campbell-Bannerman, the Libera! leader. So the outlook ib favorable for a practical solution of this Irish land question, which for many generations has been a prolific source of ill-will, hatred, strife, and deadly conflicts. It is gratifying to the whole civilized world to see the British Govern ment thus pursuiug, in Ireland as in South Africa, a broad, liberal policy, and also to see Ireland's al ready improved prospects thus brightening.— Evening Telegram. • - — - Cnls In Spain. MadriJ, March 2t>,— Minister of Finance Villavordo has resigned, thus precipitating the longcxpcxted Cabinet crisis. He gives as his reasons for resigning that he could not agree with the large expendi tures lemnndcd by the other port folios. Villnverde lias taken the position that, while Spain is im poverished, she should not waste the pubile funds. In Ibis he is strongly supported by the popu lace, although the Court js against him. Shooting; Affair at Cold Beach. On Friday night March 20, a party of five or six young men were whiling away the hours iu a vacant house in Gold Beach. While en gaged in a game of poker, Hederick Wilson, nn<l Aaron Foster— better known as “Joe Joe” —got into a dis pute over the game and a fight en sued in which Foster was mortally wounded. As near as we have been able to learn, the facts are about as follows; The two men jumped up from the table and clinched each other. The others present left the room and as they did so one of them called to Foster to “ look out" for Wilson was armed. Foster was un armed. There was no witnesses to what followed. The fight occurred shortly after midnight, and about two o ’clock the Sheriff, who lives some distance away, was awakened by Wilson who said that he had shot “ Joe Joe” and wanted to give himself up. After taking Wilson into custody, the Sheriff went to the scene of the shooting and found Foster unconscious. Everything possible was done for the wounded man nnd a doctor telephoned for. Foster soon regained consciousness and was able to give an account of the affair, which statement will be published in due time. Upon ex amination by the doctor it was found that Foster had been shot twice with a 38 caliber revolver. The first shot passed through one leg under the knee joint and be tween the bone and cords, the other bullet entered the left side, barely missing the last rib, ranged down ward and came out on the same side botween the spinal column and the hip joint. At last accounts the wounded man was very weak, and suffering greatly with but slight chances of recovery. At the time of the shooting Wilson was slight ly under the influence of liquor. Wilson had a hearing Satnrday and was boond over to appear before the grand jurv next August.— Port Orford Tribune. Telegraphic Brevities- The City Council of Chicago passed the “ anti-smoke” ordiuance by a vote of 47 to 15, Monday night. The United States Steel Corpora tion Tuesday put in operation more than 1500 new coke ovens on Tug River, Wis. As many more will be completed within 30 days. The Royal Geographical Society commemorated Monday in London, the 300th anniversary of tho death of “ Queen Bess.” Speeches were made and valuable relics exhibited. Senator Hanna Tuesday, at Cleveland, O., rocoived a number of telegrams from Thomasville, Ga., concerning the serious illness of his daughter, Ruth, who is suffering there from typhoid fever. President Ramsay, of the Wabash Railroad, sailed for Europe from New York yesterday, on the Kron- prinz Wilhelm, on account of the illness of his daughter. She ts suf fering from typhoid fever at Cairo, Egypt. City Under Waler— Many Lives Lost- New Orleans, March 28.— Further advices from Greenville, state that the situation is awful beyond dis- cription. The larger part of the city is un der water and the death list is still growing. The crevasses are enlarg ing and tho volume of water pour ing over the country is greater than it was this morning. The property loss will be im mense. The death list has just been in creased by the reported drowning of four more persons who were swept from the topB of their houses in Greenville. One hundred more convicts have been sent to the stricken city to as sist in the work o f rescue. Ad vices from there state that unless more boats are sent at once the loss of life will be appalling. Greenville, Miss,. March 28.— On ly six blocks of the city are above the flood. Hundreds of negroes have been rescued from the tops of houses and cabins. News comes this morning that an other break is threatened in the levee thirty miles north of here. The Mayor of the city issued a call for volunteers and five hundred men responded. Should this break occur the worst will have happened. The city would receive the full force of the deluge and the loss of life would be terrible.
